The Steaming Cup

The tart lemon balances the mellow almond and vanilla just perfectly. Have at least 2 cups.

Not just almond, but lemon and vanilla too. It’s a very mellow tasting tea recipe, so you should be prepared to relax while drinking it.

• 4 black tea bags
• 1/2 tsp lemon zest
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 2 tbs lemon juice
• 1 tsp almond extract
• 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
• 4 cups water

Steep the tea and lemon zest together in boiling water for 4 minutes. Stir in the sugar, lemon juice, almond and vanilla flavourings. Serve hot.

Serves 4.
